   - \ref METAD there is a new FLYING_GAUSSIAN keyword to activate the flying gaussian methods by Spiwok (contributed by Spiwok and Hozzova)
   - \ref EXTERNAL can now SCALE the input grid. This allows for more flexibility without modifying the grid file.

   - Libmatheval is not used anymore. \ref MATHEVAL (and \ref CUSTOM) are still available
     but employ an internal implementation of the lepton library.
-    Functions available in libmatheval and absent in the original lepton library have been added so as to have backward compatbility.

   - In \ref METAD, when using a bias factor equal to one (no bias) the `rct` component is set to zero rather than to one.
   - New shortcuts are available for selecting atoms: `@allatoms` and `@mdatoms` (see \ref atomSpecs).

 - Runtime loader in `Plumed.c` now works also when linked without `-rdynamic` (that is, 
   its names are not exported). Notice that all the combinations are expected to
